Abstract

Vascular disease of the brain and its sequelae comprise a large portion of modern medical practice. Moreover, cerebral vascular disease is the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in developed countries.1 Fortunately, recent advances in neuroimaging technology have contributed greatly to our understanding of cerebral vascular disease and has helped to formulate new treatment strategies.
